Meet the Smooth Helmeted Iguana (Corytophanes cristatus) a bizarre looking lizard closely related to Basilisks. This arboreal reptile can be found from Mexico to Colombia in the lowland forests of most of Central America and the Northern Chocó. Both female and male of this species have a prominent casque which might help them blend into their surroundings by making them look not like a lizard. A truly amazing animal from the Colombian Chocó forests!

Just scanned this snapping turtle illustration! It won’t be long before turtles in the northeast start nesting. If you see one crossing the road help it in the direction it’s going!

Lachesis achrochorda
@sebastiandido had an amazing time exploring the Colombian Chocó. On their first night they found this beautiful viper sitting in the trail. The largest species in the genus Lachesis (L. Muta) can grow to 4m making it the longest venomous snake in the Western Hemisphere. Stay tuned to see more finds from this trip.

The cutest little Mud Snake you ever did see! Definitely the highlight of a relatively slow night with @snakeaholic. Glad you got your lifer, man!

The Dragon Snake . These snakes are rare to see since they are extremely difficult to keep alive in captivity and only lay 1-2 eggs a year. They are also known for stiffening their body up like a rock in whichever position it’s in if touched or picked up. .
